India’s recent demonstration of its orbital defense capabilities scattered more than 400 pieces into various orbits, endangering the International Space Station and other emplacements, according to NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. He called the test a “terrible, terrible thing” at a town hall event yesterday.

The test, which took place last week, saw an Indian rocket launched to an altitude of about 300 kilometers, where it struck and destroyed a previously placed satellite, probably the Microsat R launched in January. Prime Minister Narenda Modi proudly said the test “shows the remarkable dexterity of India’s outstanding scientists and the success of our space programme.”
